I am trying to track down the source of a song for which, in English, the lyrics are: and solemn are the heavens, And the earth is sleeping in a pale-blue light. Then why am I so troubled and so heartsick Do I still hope or do I feel regret? Do I still hope or do I feel regret? The original is, I am told, a Yiddish folk song. I'm hoping to learn the exact title and anything else which is known about this song. Kind regards, Olga Zabludoff Washington, DC. ______________________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
